Sorry for the short chapter last time, I'm trying to fit everything in with school and such. Anyway, back to business.
Kept you waiting huh?
Party!

"Well, okay then that just happened." Carmelitas mother said as she left the door way. "So, who is this young champion who broke your father?"
"Oh, Mom, this is Sly Cooper."
"The orphan with P.T.S.D?"
"Hey, I don't have P.T.S.D!" Sly said interrupting the mother daughter bickering. "And I thought that you two were divorced?"
"Well, we are. But we still live together. It's complicated." Carmelitas mother dismissed.
"It's like hell on earth." Carmelita added.
"CARM! Your father and I try our best to support you and your brother."
"Then why get a divorce? Why let him continue to let him to treat everyone like he does?"
"BECAUSE CARM, WE NEED EACHOTHER!"
Now paused in a staring match with Sly awkwardly standing next to Carmelita's half dead father. Sly raised his hand to speak. Both heated Foxes shot him venomous looks. "Umm… I don't know what really goes on here but."
"Of course, you wouldn't you're just an orphan." Carmelitas mother spat.
"But." Sly cut in sternly. "Look at the state everyone here's in, he's drunk, doubled over and needs an ambulance and you two are having a go at each other. Don't you think that enough is enough?"
"Who are you to say so?" Arguing back relentlessly Carmelitas mother wanting to push another person around.
"Where's your brother?" Sly asked Carmelita.
"Umm probably over at a friend's house, why?"
"Tell him to stay there for the rest of the week. And pack a week's worth of clothes. You're living at Murrays for a while with me."
"Oh, no she's not!" Carmelitas mother started back. "You're not taking my daughter away you filthy boy! I bet you're a filthy thief just like your father. Yes, we still see the cooper gang tag. You're not going anywhere with my daughter."
"I thought that your mom was supposed to be chilled out?" Sly said to Carmelita, slightly worried.
"She is. She's just pissed off." Carmelita said as she disappeared into the depths of her house to gather her belongings for a week. Leaving the two to converse.
"Oh… That sucks."
"Yes I am. No thanks to that heap over there." Carmelitas mother said referring to Carmelitas father.
"Anyway, my name is Michelle. And this useless heap over here." Michelle said as she was picking up her drunk and broken ex-husband. "This is Jamie. Oh, looks like he passed out from the pain." Michelle said, calmer than she was just moments before. "Anyway, Sly I apologise for the things I said, I wasn't myself. You seem like a decent young man who's perfectly capable of protecting my daughter." She held her hand out for Sly to shake. Sly accepted and kissed the back of her hand.
"All is forgiven Michelle, I'm used to that treatment."
"Oh, it must be kind of difficult living with a foster family." Micelle said empathetically.
"Not really, no…. Well not anymore… Considering they were killed earlier this afternoon."
"Oh my… What's going to happen to you? Where will you go?"
"Oh, I'll be living at my friend's house."
"Are his parents okay with it?"
"Yeah you could say that in a way. I never got to meet his parents considering well, that he wasn't adopted and he owns his own house."
"How did he manage that?"
"Inheritance. He inherited the house."
"Oh, that's handy. What did you Inherit sly?"
"Why are you asking?"
"No reason… No reason."
"What did I miss?" Carmelita asked.
"Where are you going young Miss?" Michelle inquired.
"Over to Murrays house for the rest of the week, there's a party on for seniors that are chilled out and it goes until next Monday." Carmelita answered calmly.
"Yeah, that's why we should go now. Nice meeting you Michelle." Sly said as he was ushering Carmelita out of the gate.
"Well… Alright then. Have fun I guess." Michelle said, dismissing her daughter's sudden departure with the young bountiful raccoon as a common occurrence. Making their way down Carmelitas driveway and into the ever so silent street where the occasional person may pass by.

The Passage way was empty as Sly and Carmelita strolled through its lonesome paved path. "So, are you sure Murray would be okay with me staying at his house for a week?" Carmelita asked Sly, slightly concerned as to whether or not she'd be welcome back into the 'Thunder-dome' as Murray had stated the previous night.
"Well yeah, he really doesn't mind. And good idea for the party we'll see if anyone else wants in on that."
"What? That was just a cover."
"No, that's a good idea. We get to spy on the Klaww gang without them noticing."
"Oh, thank you." Carmelita said, pride filling her.
"Did Murray really inherit the house? I thought that he bought it with victory money."
"He did, that was just a cover." Sly said with a sarcastic tone.
"Hey… No need to tease me, you said it was a good idea anyway."
"Hahaha, yeah it is a good idea but I like teasing you. It's not serious in anyway, just a bit of fun." Sly said trying to defend his case.
"Well in that case, Party King, let's get to Murrays house…"
"Oh alright then…"
"Yep…" Carmelita said, satisfied with Sly's sudden lack of sharp wit.
"You know, Carm, you never told me how your sleep was last night." Sly said coolly, inside he was still about to explode at the amount of joy that was the previous night's conclusion.
"Well… I would have enjoyed it better if… You know what, that can wait for later tonight." Carmelita said tapping Sly on the nose. With a smirk on her face and perk in her tail, the events of the night to come being planned by the Fox temptress.
"Why won't you tell me?" Sly asked, his curiosity peaked.
"Well don't you like surprises ringtail?"
"Oh? Depends on what kind of surprise it is…"
"It's a good one, don't worry." This made Sly's tail perk up.
"Well… If it's what I'm thinking it is… I might not need to."
"And what do you think it is?"
"We'll just have to be patient for now won't we? Miss fox." With a slight blush and a sneaky grin on his face Sly said with his head held high and tail swaying merrily behind him. Carmelita noticed this sudden shift in Slys body language making her smile happily to herself.

"Oh? What is it?" Sly asked cheekily, catching her smiling at how she's making him feel.
"Well, you really… Just you, how cute you are." Carmelita said, screaming with joy inside. Sly was taken back slightly, he hadn't been called cute in years, not since his real mother died. This, was a big deal to him. Not even Neyla had called him cute. This was something else.
"I… I'm… You… You think I'm cute?" Sly stammered out, in disbelief.
"Well… Yeah, I like how perky you got, like… Your attitude just went, WOOOSSHHH, up. And I think that's totally adorable." Carmelita said to Sly with an innocent smile on her face.
"It's… It's just nobody's called me cute in years… Not since my real Mom died. This is really… nostalgic for me." Sly said with a smile on his face.
"Ohhh, a Mommy kink…" Carmelita said teasingly
"Eww, no, that's weird, stop please." Sly said, disturbed by the comment.
"Well, when we do something like that, call me whatever you want…"
"Oh." Sly said, eyes widening. "I think I'd just go with… Mon Beau for now."
"Well… I'm alright with being called your beautiful… As long as I'm your only beautiful." Carmelita said sternly.
"Oh, trust me Carm. You're the very meaning of beautiful to me." Sly said, staring into her deep dark brown eyes, ensnaring him and his attention for a moment until he regained it again. "Hey, Carm… Can… Can I please hold your hand?" Sly asked nervously. Carmelita smiled and moved her hand into position for Sly to hold. With his heart beating in his ears Sly took her hand, with relief and happiness washing over him. There was an unmissable smile on his face that Carmelita couldn't get enough of. She felt as though she could trust him with everything. She felt happy and safe with him, like he was perfect. Like she and he, were meant to be together and in some way, they were drawn to one another.
They continued their walk through the town, passing one of the local supermarkets.
"Hey, umm… Do you like skittles?" Sly asked.
"Duh." Carmelita said a grin spreading across her face. "Of course, I do silly."
"So do you want any or not?" Sly offered.
"Hmm… If you want to get them for me then… Sure." Carmelita said modestly. Not wanting to seem like she wanted to take advantage of sly.
"Oh, alright. Normal or sour?" Sly asked with a smile.
"Normal…" Carmelita said, now blushing.
"Alright then, I'll be right back." Sly said, rushing into the supermarket, leaving his bag with Carmelita. Sly dashed through the supermarket searching for skittles, high and low. Individually checking each isle. 16 in total. Moving swiftly, Sly finally found the Skittles. Both the sour and normal were in stock. Grabbing both the flavours in one hand. Manoeuvring through the crowd of soccer moms to the self-checkout. After finally getting through the whole ordeal, Sly finally got back to Carmelita, out of breath.
"Did you just run through the whole supermarket?"
Sly glancing around said. "Umm, maybe?" A bashful smile washing over his face.
"You forgot where the skittles were didn't you?" Carmelita inquired.
"Whaaaat? Me? No… Pwshhh, that's ridiculous." Sly playfully remarked. "Let's just get to Murrays."

The walk to Murrays house wasn't far from the supermarket, making their way to Murrays quickly while eating their skittles.

Before too long Sly and Carmelita reached their future dwelling space. "Ah, here we are… Casa de le Murray." Sly announced. Bentley opened the door suddenly.
"Sly, thank god you're okay. We thought that you were dead. We were listening to the police scanners and… We feared the worst." Bentley cried out in a panic. Murray ran out of the safehouse, embracing Sly and Carmelita in a massive bear hug. "We thought you were gone buddy!"
"Thanks, big guy but, you're kind of squishing us right now." Sly squeaked out from under Murrays tight embrace. "Oh my god! Sorry guys! I forget sometimes that… you know, you're not as burly as me." Releasing his bear hug from the two smaller teenagers.
"That's okay Murray, we appreciate the gesture." Carmelita said bopping him on the shoulder.
"AHHH! OH GOD!" Murray cried, grabbing his shoulder as if it was in severe pain. "Just kidding. It takes more than that to hurt, THE MURRAY!" He exclaimed triumphantly.
"So… what's the plan now?" Bentley asked. "We have the rest of the week off… So… What should we do?"
"Have a party? For like… the whole week? I have the money to keep it going that long…" Sly suggested.
"That's not a terrible idea Sly." Said Bentley, agreeing with him.
"Well… Carm? What do you think?" Sly asked, not wanting to make her feel left out.
"Sure, I'm sure I know some people who'd be down for a party for the rest of the week." She said as a smile spread across her face, happy to be included.
"Well… let's just get you settled in then Carmelita, we can't have you sleeping in the same bed as Sly every night." Murray said, wanting to be as decent a host as possible.
"Well, I wouldn't mind…" Carmelita said, with a seductive eye on Sly. "It's not that big of a deal…"
"Well, alright then. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable so, sure. Just, if anything happens keep it down, alright? I don't want to wake up to whatever it is you've got planned." Being somewhat responsible Murray, having laid down some rules, was now done being the parent for the day.
"Alright then, lets get you moved in." Said Sly, leading Carmelita down the hall to their room. Sly opened the door and then packed away all his loose clothes and made the bed. Mainly so Carmelita wouldn't mind sharing his room. "Oh, you don't have to clean up for me… I don't mind." Carmelita said with a flirtatious smirk.

Later.

"So… How many people should I invite?" Carmelita asked, now finished with moving in to Slys room.
"Umm… I'm not sure?" Sly said. "Murray? Bentley? What do you think?"
"Well… I think they should be just… cool people who want to hang out for like… four days?" Murray said, unsure of how many people should come. "I know a few people who'd be up for it." Carmelita said with excitement in her voice.
"I'll invite Hayden" Sly continued, "He'll be up for it, same with a couple of juniors from my homeroom that'll be up for it."
"That'll be good enough." Bentley finished. "No worries we don't need all too many people here anyway."
"Well, lets just… prepare our party tonight? Is that alright?" Sly asked, wanting to make the party be somewhat decent.
"Can we do it tomorrow? I kind of want to chill out tonight." Bentley said
"Alright dude it doesn't bother me." Sly said in response.
"Awesome, I'm going to go and lift some weights." Murray said, leaving Sly, Bentley and Carmelita on the porch.
"Well, I'm going to play video games if anyone needs me." Bentley stated as he wheeled inside.
"So… Carmelita… how're you?" Sly said, trying to make small talk.
"Sly, you never told me that you guys had a hot tub and pool."
"Well, you never asked." Sly said with a slight chuckle.
"Can you and I… take a dip?" she said with a seductive grin.
"In which pool?"
Now stroking Slys chest replied "No… I was thinking maybe you could take a dip in… me?" As she grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him to their room, locking it behind them.

I'm sorry for the wait, seriously I've been really busy. Back logged with work and just needing time to write. I'm going to try and put more out more often.
